‘TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE UNEDUCATED’
spiked ^ | April 8,2016 | TOM SLATER

Posted on 04/10/2016 6:59:40 PM PDT by Hojczyk

On this point, animal-shelter worker Joe was unconvinced: ‘Trump is tapping into the people that are prone to hate, fearmongering and people who are just angry.’ As I move around the pen, ‘I get why they’re angry’ is said time and again. But it’s little more than a throat-clearing exercise. When it comes down to it, the anti-Trump protesters think his supporters are either racist, or plain stupid. ‘People who support Trump are uneducated’, said postgrad student Sally. ‘They don’t have broad minds about what’s going on. I think it’s intelligence.’ For all the talk of ‘making America hate again’, the people who were really being smeared or scapegoated at this rally were Trump supporters – working-class voters who dare to support someone who strays from the PC-politico script. Indeed, the only harsh words thrown at immigrants emanated from the designated free-speech area: as a group of Latin-American men walked past, heading to the rally, a gaggle of college students screamed ‘You’re on the wrong side!’.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Donald Trump. He’s a crass opportunist, who, for all his talk of sticking it to the freedom-squishing status quo, has more than his fair share of authoritarian tendencies. But this protest in a sleepy New York suburb, and the wretching that Trump has sparked among the cosmopolitan classes nationwide, isn’t really about him. It’s about his supporters: the dumb rednecks who, Sally and Co tell us, know not what they do.

Trump may not go the distance at the Republican convention in July, but this fear and loathing of the masses is here to stay.

What’s the matter, have you forgotten that that used to be posted ALL of the time on this site, way back when we joined, or is it that you have the beginnings of ALZHEIMERS?

Yes, this article is so spot-on. I never graduated from high school.

Never mind the PhD—the fact that I am a high-school drop out says it all.

This is for the weak minded sheep to make them feel powerful.

Deep down inside they know what happened in Colorado is wrong.

Now I’m stupid and I most likely smell. I probably only have 2 functional teeth.

due to aggressive periodontal disease over the years, I actually do have only four natural teeth remaining...however I do have functional dentures, so I don’t know if that counts...

how intellectually challenged does one have to be to ignore the mass murder of civilians that typified the 20th century experiment in socialism? No matter what the left spews, it’s offering death and misery.

The author fails to understand that Trump supporters are voting with their gut (i.e not just their brains but their entire beings--brain, heart, spirit, stomach).

That might appear to be unintelligent to voters who only vote with their brain.

Unfortunately for brain voters, they can't be easily duped by candidates who know the right words to use.

They are glorying in the fact that Cruz plays the corruption game better than Trump; which is, of course, their only chance at salvation...

I’m hoping the GOP does a complete end run around the voters at the convention, with their arcane and archaic backroom wrangling...because this time, it ain’t gonna fly...

Ha! "Brain voters" who don't understand that voting for mandatory class sizes means "tax increase."

Any way you slice it, a vote that doesn't go to Trump is a vote for continued opaque immigration policy. Period.

All the article did was prove that those who consider Trump supporters to be uneducated are really really stupid.

Did you happen to see the compilation of "Never Trump" folks on the streets? None of them could get out a coherent sentence or thought about why they were against Trump.....meanwhile, here at FR, many "Cruz or Lose"ers are ignoring so much about his campaign and not even asking who the delegates "being persuaded" are really loyal to - any bets that many are hard-core lovers of the GOPe in it's current state?

Not going to happen. Ryan said “no” and Kasich does not have enough delegates to get the nomination.
